A BIG SCARE.
An Alleged Plot to Rob an Express Car on the
Big Four Railway.

Cincinnati Enquirer
The Adams and American express companies
detectives and officials in this city and Indianap
oils have been worked up to high pitch of ex
element during the past week by the anony-
nous letter received last Friday, warning them
of scheme on foot to rob the express car on the
cannon ball train, which leaves this city for In
dianapolis at p NJ. daily over the Big Four
railroad.
On the train in question the express companies
ship large sums of money and other treasure to
indianapolis, Chicago and other Northwestern
points. This side of Lawrenceburg, Ind, is
tunnel, at the east end Of which the road bed is
in bad condition an has shown signs of sink
ing. AS consequence general and imp erative
order was issued some few weeks since that all
trains slow up to few miles per hour while pass
ing over the dangerous ground. Owing TO this
and the fact that the spot is dark and lonely
one, it has often been regarded by the officials
and trainmen as a spot affording train robbers
every opportunity of boarding an express car
and successfully executing a robbery.
Hence, when, Oh last Friday, one of the depot
men, connected with the American. received ali
intimation of an intended robbery. which was to
take place at the mouth of the tunnel, it was re-
garded with no little alarm.
The warning came in the form of an anon
ymous letter. which stated that the attack was
to be made on the evening of Jan. "a or o. last
Monday or Tuesday night
Detective Larry Hazen, who has charge of the
Adams business, was called in, and expressed
the opinion that the scheme as detailed looked
like business, and Immediately determined to
act accordingly Three trustworthy men were
selected. and, under the leadership of the vet
eran detective, they quietly boarded the
| cannon ball train on the Big Four railroad
just before it pulled out of the Grand
Central Depot Monday night. The officers seated
themselves at the forward tend of the smoking
| car, directly behind the express scar, from the
| windows of which they could command a full
view OF one end Of the express-car, which carried
| An unusually valuable trust. AT the tunnel the
train passed without incident, and rea, ID Indi-
| annapolis on time without the least signs Of train
robbers having been discovered On Tuesday
night the precaution WAS repeated, yet rob
bers appeared. The matter began to assume
the attitude of joke. perpetrated, probably. by
some crank who had been reading the Jim Cum
| nings stories. 1t decided on consultation
| that it would be necessary to exercise extra pre-
caution in guarding this train at least for
week or two, and this is being done. Superin
| tendent zimmerman, of the Adams, says tina
he attaches no Importance to the report but still
the fact remains that extra guards have beer
sent out with the run every night.
